Camera my moms camera is not showing anything on the screen when you turn it on and we can't figure out how to set it

When I turn on my Olympus FE-190 camera it shows the "card setup" screen with two choices: Power Off (highlighted) or Format, and gives a 3-ring alert sound. (It does this no matter what is set on the program dial: auto, guide, etc.) If I press OK to "set" with Power Off highlighted, it turns off. If I highlight format and press OK of course it warns me I'll be reformatting the XD card. When I attach the usb cable the screen on the camera shows PC highlighted but when I press OK it says "one mom

Camera problems I can see the different setting symbols on the screen and when I turn it off and on I can see the canon pic it shows upon coming on. However, when I take a pictures I can no longer see the picture I am taken on the screen and although it appears to have taken the picture the picture turned out black. This starting taking place after my husband changed my settings I cannot figure out what to do to change it back. Please help.

This definitely sounds like a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info: \015\ ...

My nikon coolpix s5 turns on and dispay remains dark- but all settings show up on display screen- cant take picture but i can view old pictures. i have taken out battery and restarted camera but still have same problem--it looks like display is turned off--but can't find any options to control that function. thanks

The camera's ccd, the image sensor , is either faulty or has become disconnected. This is a fault that can't be fixed by fiddling with the settings. If the camera is under warranty, then return it for repair. If it is not, it may cost more to repair ...

FLASHES C:13:01 When I turned the camera on, I looked at monitor to take picture and was flashing C:13:01-wouldn't take a picture. Shut camera off, turned on and got two pictures off. That was it. By shutting camera off and on was able to get to the review setting and viewed the 80 pics. stored; that was yesterday. Today I get the c:13:01 code on each camera mode and review setting only shows the 2 pics from yesterday, then blue screen, though as I push the review button the on screen picture nu

Blurry images I purchased about a year ago a new Panasonic DMC-TZ4. And up until this point, I was in love with this camera. However, just recently, sometimes when I turn the camera on, the screen is showing images to be out of focus and blurry. All the settings are correct. Some times it stays like this for hours. Other times, I can turn the camera off and then back on and the blurriness goes away. Twice the camera has frozen and I had to take the battery out. And some times when I turn the cam

Sounds like a lens problem. If you've ever let the camera "auto turn-off" as a power-saving measure, any button pushed will turn it back on...even if it's in a case or your pocket. This puts strain on the lens as it tries to come out...result....lens ...

When I turn on my Canon PowerShot S2 IS camera and set it to shoot mode, the screen is black. A while back, I was able to get the screen to show by toggling with the camera and constantly turning it on and off. Now, however, it is completely black and will refuse to work. How do I fix this problem? Thank you.

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very b ...

Hello ,regarding my dx4530 camera , the camera turns on fine but the view screen is dark, almost as if the lens cap was on , the picture number along with the flash settings show on the screen but dark the background is dark. I can review old pictures. If I take a picture now they show up as blank. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any comments or solutions

When I turn on the camera the LCD screen no longer shows the settings. I can still take pictures and it shows the image on the LCD screen, and if I hit menu screen shows. Did I push something I wasn't supposed to?

That is just a setting. It turns off the lcd to save battery or when you want to just use the optics for sightiing/focus etc. Should be one of the menus that show up when you hit the menu button. You should be able to set it off as it is now or have ...

I just turned on the camera to take a picture and noticed that the camera was not focusing. I tried changing the setting, turned of the camera and restarted it, removed the battery and put it back in. Nothing I could think of would make the camera focus. The screen only shows blurry and out of focus. The pictures taken by the camera are blurry and out of focus. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank You

The camera is 2 years old, when turning on the power it goes to the date set,you can change the year, then it slides over to the month, but seems froze up, then the camera resets itself, if you skip the date set up, it shows a view on the lcd, but can't take a picture, and the camera resets again. My son borrowed it and took pictures snorkeling, so it may have gotten wet, but the lcd screen is not distorted as it was a year ago when I got water in it.

Grainy pictures When I put the pictures I have taken on the tv screen and try to crop them they appear grainy. Do I have the setting on the camera wrong. I have a Canon Powershot S51S? Also I have a hand that is showing on my screen when I turn my camera on. I cannot find it in the manual. Thanks

Try going into the cameras menu setting and see if you can change the picture quality settings to the best setting! (the more mega pixals the better the picture when you blow it up or crop it!\015\012If you cant figure out the menu come back an ...

LCD screen I am using my sisters camera over the next two weeks and cant figure out how to get the lcd screen to work while i am taking a photo. It is fine to review the photo and takes photos fine but i can see what i am taking the photo of unless i look through the eye piece. I cant get hold of her for the next two weeks and i dont have the manual can anyone help? Is there a button or setting i have to put it on?

Help! my camera has always been fabulous but tonight when i was trying to take pictures they show on the LCD screen with horizontal lines through them. I tried different locations in different light with different subjects and they all turned out the same. I don't know what to do and I really need the camera for tomorrow. HELP! I'm afraid I may have turned on some setting by accident because I just used it yesterday and it worked fine.

HiIt sounds like you have a defective CCD sorry to say, there's nothing you can do to fix the problem without replacing the CCD.You can try resetting everything via the setup menu, but I do not believe that will help. ...
Canon PowerShot SD300 / IXUS 40 Digital Camera

Black screen Turn on the camera, the start screen shows up, then it turns black when ready to get pictures taken. Tried going through all menus, can see all menus just fine, didnt mess with anything. Tried every setting, still, nothing. Also, can see all saved pictures, and the other lens was cleaned off.

Not focusing I'm not sure what happened, nothing seems to be obstructing and to my extent of knowledge nothing has happened to my camera. However when I turn it on the lens comes out once, goes back in, and comes out again. Then the screen is blank, shows no picture until i push the play button, or until I change what picture setting it is on. Once the screen shows picture it will not focus anything. Any help here?

Do you hear any unusual friction noise while the lens assembly projects out.. if so then the traction assembly of your zoom barrel has developed mechanical obstruction, in which case it has to be serviced. Take it to the service centre and the proble ...

Negative effect. I've had my Canon Powershot S3 1S for over a year now. The other day I was taking pictures and it was working fine. I turn it off and set it down. I come back later, turn it on again and the screen shows has white lines that keep flicking over it. I turn it off and take the batteries out. Later I put the batteries back in, turn it on, and find that it is in negative effect. I'm pretty sure that my camera can't do this naturally and I've tried everything to see if I could get it
